A FAILURE OF JUSTICE.

If Creighton, the convicted San Fran
cisco jury-fixer, has fed-leaving the
sureties on his bail bond in the lurch-a
practical failure of justice is to be recorded.
He was held in but $4,000 bail. To such
a man and his friends the sum was insig-
niticant, and they can well afford to rec
ompense the bondsmen for their loss. But
then, who has memory of a bail bond being
sued upon and recovery had? Such
things may have been, but if SO, they have
been as rare as angels visits. When
Creighton was convicted his bail should
have been increased. If $4,000 of bond
assurance was deemed necessary to secure
the attendance of a man presumed by the
law to be innocent, and one of whose ac-
completes had already been discharged,
what was the Court thinking about when
it let the convicted man depart upon the
same bond? Surely the risk to justice had
been vastly increased why not, then, raise
the bond? What was the District Attor-
ney thinking about that he should put in
peril the fruits of his victory by neglect to
move the Court to require greater security
for the appearance of the prisoner for SEN
tence? We have no knowledge that will
justify suspicion Of collision, but the Court
and prosecuting officer cannot escape the
imputation many will utter that suspicion
is justified that there was more than
neglect in the case. We have no belief that
there was, but the idea will be entertained
and the officers may take harm because
of this miscarriage ofjustice.
The hope is still to be entertained that
Creighton will appear on sentence day, for
there are so many crooks and turns and
crevices Of escape in the criminal law that
he may be induced to "chance it, as the
phrase goes, and appear for sentence. If
however, he has fed it must be accepted
as confession Of guilt and the righteous
ness of the verdict, and though this is
small satisfaction, since he escapes punish
ment, still it will have some effect in
checking the infamous crime of tamperine
with iIries
